5.1 Overview

Spatial Point Pattern Analysis is the evaluation of the pattern or distribution, of a set of points on a surface. The point can be location of:

events such as crime, traffic accident and disease onset, or business services (coffee and fastfood outlets) or facilities such as childcare and eldercare. Using appropriate functions of spatstat, this hands-on exercise aims to discover the spatial point processes of childecare centres in Singapore.

The specific questions we would like to answer are as follows:

are the childcare centres in Singapore randomly distributed throughout the country? if the answer is not, then the next logical question is where are the locations with higher concentration of childcare centres?

##5.4.2 Mapping the geospatial data sets Use ggplot() and geom_sf

ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = mpsz_sf, fill = "lightgrey", color = "black") +
  geom_sf(data = childcare_sf, color = "black", size = 0.05) +  # Red points, slightly larger
  labs(title = "Child Care Services in Singapore", subtitle = "Based on Subzone Boundaries") +
  theme_minimal()

or use tmap

tmap_mode('view')  #views are very big
tmap mode set to interactive viewing
tm_shape(childcare_sf)+
  tm_dots()

Set it back to plot

tmap_mode('plot')
tmap mode set to plotting

#5.5 Geospatial Data wrangling Although simple feature data frame is gaining popularity again sp’s Spatial* classes, there are, however, many geospatial analysis packages require the input geospatial data in sp’s Spatial* classes. In this section, you will learn how to convert simple feature data frame to sp’s Spatial* class.

##5.5.1 Converting from sf format into spatstat’s ppp format Now, we will use as.ppp() function of spatstat to convert the spatial data into spatstat’s ppp object format.

childcare_ppp <- as.ppp(childcare_sf)

###5.10.2.2 Performing Complete Spatial Randomness Test To confirm the observed spatial patterns above, a hypothesis test will be conducted. The hypothesis and test are as follows:

Ho = The distribution of childcare services at Tampines are randomly distributed.

H1= The distribution of childcare services at Tampines are not randomly distributed.

The null hypothesis will be rejected if p-value is smaller than alpha value of 0.001.
